cross-compiler         
<programming> A compiler which runs on one platform and produces code for another, as opposed to a native code compiler which produces code for the platform on which it runs. (1998-02-24)
Cross compiler         
A cross compiler is a compiler capable of creating executable code for a platform other than the one on which the compiler is running. For example, a compiler that runs on a PC but generates code that runs on an Android smartphone is a cross compiler.

PROGRAM THAT GENERATES PARSERS OR COMPILERS FROM SOURCE FILES
Parser generator; Parser generators; Compiler compiler; Compiler Compiler; Compiler generator; Semantic action routine; Compiler development tools; Metacompiler; Parser compiler
A utility to generate the source code of a parser, interpreter or compiler from an annotated language description (usually in BNF). Most so called compiler-compilers are really just parser generators. Examples are Bison, Eli, FSL, META 5, MUG2, Parsley, Pre-cc, Yacc. (1995-01-23)

Cross compiler

A cross compiler is a compiler capable of creating executable code for a platform other than the one on which the compiler is running. For example, a compiler that runs on a PC but generates code that runs on an Android smartphone is a cross compiler.

A cross compiler is useful to compile code for multiple platforms from one development host. Direct compilation on the target platform might be infeasible, for example on embedded systems with limited computing resources.

Cross compilers are distinct from source-to-source compilers. A cross compiler is for cross-platform software generation of machine code, while a source-to-source compiler translates from one coding language to another in text code. Both are programming tools.
